WHITE ROCK, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - March 15, 2017) - Orsu Metals Corporation (TSX VENTURE:OSU) ("Orsu" or the "Company") has filed a technical report regarding the Sergeevskoe gold project, Russia (the "Sergeevskoe Report") to support the indirect acquisition of the initial 30% of the Sergeevskoe project as announced on September 21, 2016 and January 13, 2017.

The Sergeevskoe Report was authored by Phil Newall of Wardell Armstrong International Ltd. ("WAI") an independent Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101.

The highlights of the Sergeevskoe Report include:

The major ore-controlling faults at Kluchevskoye pass westwards into the Sergeevskoe license and it is quite clear that the mineralising structures that were mined at Kluchevskoye are continuous to a greater or lesser extent into the Sergeevskoe area.

In total, and to varying degrees of study, more than 10 gold occurrences and numerous mineralized points for gold, molybdenum and copper have been identified at the Sergeevskoe property. Numerous geochemical anomalies of Au, Cu and Mo were also delineated in the area.

Orsu has possession of a highly attractive exploration license containing many of the structural, mineralogical and lithological controls as are seen at Kluchevskoye, but with the added advantage of a number of drill-ready targets. It is likely that some of these will be mineralised extensions from ore zones mined at the western end of the Kluchevskoye pit whilst others might represent faulted continuations of the same Kluchevskoye system. Either way, the magnitude of the Kluchevskoye body should not be underestimated and as such, Sergeevskoe presents an excellent opportunity to develop near surface oxide mineralization with the possibility of deeper primary mineralisation development.

Furthermore, WAI believes that the budgeted work programmes put forward by Orsu are both practical and prudent and will greatly enhance the understanding of this exciting area.

The Sergeevskoe Report titled "NI 43-101 Technical Report for the Sergeevskoe Property, Zabaikalskiy Krai, Russian Federation" is dated March 10, 2017 with an effective date of November 18, 2016, is filed on the Company's profile on www.sedar.com. The pending acquisition of the Sergeevskoe project remains subject to Exchange approval.
